    Abstract

    Urban land use has impacts spread across time and place. How urban areas are built and configured in the coming decades will have long-term implications on the environment and the lives of billions of people. A systems approach that emphasizes the importance of science and the relevance of policy to understanding urban land use is vital to building a sustainable future.
